About Snow pea

Snow peas are a popular legume often featured in Asian cuisine, prized for their crisp texture and sweet, mild flavor. These flat, green pods are unique because they're edible in their entirety—both pod and seeds—allowing for minimal preparation in stir-fries, salads, and snacks. Native to cooler climates, snow peas are a low-calorie vegetable packed with vitamins C and K, essential for immune support and bone health. They are also a good source of fiber, aiding in digestion, and contain antioxidants for combating free radicals. With a modest amount of protein, they are particularly beneficial for plant-based diets. However, snow peas are relatively low in calories, so they may not be a significant energy source on their own. Versatile, nutritious, and easy to cook, snow peas are a delightful addition to a balanced meal.
